Bernie, You can run an eep on leaving the field that formats what they typed and either plays it back into the same field, or uses RECALC. User types 123456789, the eep checks for all digits, the right number of digits, etc, and then uses sgets and redisplays as 123-45-6789. You may have to fiddle with the entry field being a variable, with an expression to set the column to the final value of the variable, and you will have to do considerable error trapping in your EEP so that it only reformats when it needs to.
